Higgs boson, "God Particle" Can Prove Einstein's Theory?

Higgs bosom, the "God particle" is considered the last unknown piece in a giant jigsaw puzzle. Once that piece is in place we will be able to see and understand how most everything in the universe works. Physicists will finally once and for all be able to prove many of the physics theories in existence today as well, including Einstein's famous theory of general relativity, E=MC2.
